Mauna and Seva

[Guest guest]

"...Somewhere some fault has happened. Therefore the delay in the visit to

Malaysia. It is Sri Swamiji’s advice that it is better to be in Mauna

(Silence)

than to speak non stop and speak unimportant and irrelevant things. Even

gossiping and chatting in front of Sri Swamiji’s photo can cause cancellation

of

Sri Swamiji’s trip. Only speak good and truth. It will then materialize.

Don’t

have negative thoughts. This is a test for Datta devotees. Small faults are

happening. But Sri Swamiji will pardon. But you are still at loss. Every second

is valuable to Sri Swamiji. All over the world people yearn for Sri Swamiji’s

presence. Be serious about your devotion to Sri Swamiji. Don’t take any duty

as a matter of fact. Everybody must contribute. If all the family members

contribute in Guru Seva, it will be a very strong centre. Never think that Sri

Swamiji comes just because of your service. If you really want to do Guru Seva,

you must be able and prepared to take responsibilities. In Malaysia, there is

80% success. But the rest 20 % must also follow and contribute and serve. When

the trip was cancelled not many sent email inquiring the reasons for

cancellation. I am amused and surprised. This is a serious mistake. Don’t let

it happen

again. You would have sent a dozen emails if someone in family was not well.

But Sri Swamiji’s non coming was not properly inquired.

Sookti 3 of Sadguru Sookti Sangraha:

Guru Tattva:

"Guru represents Mangala - auspiciousness.

Guru is your Atma tattva - the Self within you....."

 

As Guru is the Self within us, nothing eludes His attention.

So unimportant and irrelevant talking and gossipping should be avoided,

even if not in front of Sri Swamiji´s photo. JGD
